The race has just started but I am already miserable

Hi all,

I am doing mild ivf (PICSI) along side with treatment for NK cells with another clinic.

I was put on 5 days of Clomid and just started on my Gonal F shots. Today's scan (on CD7) showed only 1 follicle measuring 12mm with endo lining of 5mm. There were 2 follicles spotted when they scanned me on CD2. I was told I can add the Fyremedal shots from tomorrow.

Thing is, while this is all quite in its early stages of stims, I am already filled with doom and gloom. I know they say it only takes 1 good egg but omg.. at this point I don't even know what to think anymore. I want to remain hopeful but in doing that feels like ai am putting a lot of pressure on this 1 egg. I am tired of swallowing 18 pills(suppliments) daily and tired of eating healthy...

What do you guys do to get out of this slump doomy feeling? 😐

It’s so difficult, it’s a horrible journey in my opinion and so unfair we have to go through it. You’re not alone x try not to put too much pressure on yourself (that’s hard I know). Have some yummy unhealthy food, something that makes you smile! Do things that make your heart happy ☺️ Also clomid can cause you to feel down and sad, and also angry, it made me feel awful. Sending lots of love ❤️
